"Other websites/apps overwhelm users with choice,” Bradford, a 30-year-old who holds an MBA from Stanford University, told FoxNews.com.
“I look at my time and energy as an investment” said Kelly Lazzara, 25, an active San Francisco resident who prefers using The League over its competitors. Using a complex algorithm, the app scans data from social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn for information like education and work experience. But whether or not singles can join right away depends on the current community ratios. A new app changes laundry rituals at UB’s North Campus.
